I'm not sure what is the advantage of Cursor ? It's just a VS Code plugin that sends queries to LLMs, why is it valued so much ? It's quite basic.

Is there some sort of unlimited plan that people take advantage of ?

It works well, and had first mover advantage. It also is a fork of VSCode, not just an extension/plugin.

Its really easy to use, you download, login and start working.

Its a step up from copy-pasting from an llm.

But claude code is on another level.

Fun fact! You can use the word "just" in front of anything to make is sound trivial. Isn't planet Earth just one of eight planets in the Solar System? What's the big deal? Isn't Google just a website? Take out the word "just" and think on it a little. In this case, maybe there's something to that?
